Teresa Halbach’s convicted murderer asking for new trial; met with opposition
Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul is pushing back on a motion for a new trial for Steven Avery. Avery is appealing his 2007 conviction for the murder of a freelance photographer Teresa Halbach, and has based its appeal on bone fragment evidence found in a quarry that was given to the Halbach family without informing Avery. AG Kaul says the motion for a new trial must be denied because claims about that evidence could have been raised previously.
